  Hmm very strange and to be honest, I think that you have disabled something accidentally in the sound properties.

  However, first of all, you must check if the sound card driver has been installed correctly in Device Manager. Usually you shouldn't t see yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager.
  So, if there is no yellow exclamation point then everything has been installed correctly and the question must relate to the wrong audio settings.

  I put t know what OS you are using but the generally volume properties lie in the-> sound and audio devices Control Panel.
  I recommend that you check the volume if necessary and unique controls it the highest value.

  By the way; did you check if you can hear the sound through the headset?
  Check too!

  Good luck

• Dead by Satellite Pro A120 - no lights or sound

  I get no response from my Satellite Pro A120, no lights or sound. With power cord is plugged in.
  Let run last night and found dead this morning.

  I don't think it's a problem with the actual power cable, however the power supply port on the back is a bit loose and "wiggles" when it is plugged in, did it for a while with no problems.

  Any suggestions?

  It is not easy to say, but I fear that there is problem with PCBS and power connector. Sorry but there is nothing that you can do it alone. If the warranty is still valid please contact the authorized Service partner as soon as possible.

• Satellite Pro A120 - DC-in is flashing orange, why?

  My Satellite Pro A120 DC - in flashes orange once I plugged my universal charger.
  I read my user manual. It is said it can be caused by an abnormal voltage or a power problem but I don't know if my charger is the one bringing or there is a power problem.

  The voltage is correct and I tried to plug in charger everywhere but still DC-flashes orange. In fact, I can t use my laptop when the charger is unplugged because its battery lows down so I can t use my laptop at all when he can load t.

  It makes me think that maybe the battery is the problem. In any case, what is the problem at the start of DC-in flashing orange.

  Please help me what to do. Thank you

  Hi jane18.

  > once I plugged my universal charger.
  And what happens if you use the AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter that came with your laptop?

• Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

  Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
  Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
  Have you tried the following:
  Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
  It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
  It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
  I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
  I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
  I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
  I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
  I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  > It turns on but not at all to see clear
  This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

  It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

  In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro A120 - cooling fan runs constantly

  Hello

  Bought a satellite pro A120 "Intel centrino duo" in January and for the last two weeks, the fan runs continuously. Even when the cold portable OS, it runs complete but even just word processing or done yesterday it runs very hot. I need to access the fan to have a look for dust etc but I couldn't for access!

  If anyone knows how that would be great. Either that or somebody can suggest any way to stop the laptop gets so hot. I tried on mode low power - without change, and it also works on different surfaces, but no change.

  Any help much appreciated. Thank you
  Dougie Freedman

  Hello Dougie

  In my opinion you should not do much and check anything because your laptop is new and under warranty. If something is suspicious to you, please contact your dealer local or much better is to contact directly the authorized services.

  Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A120-166

  Hi guys,.

  I m new on this forum and looking for a bit of technical advice. I'm looking to upgrade the memory in my Satellite Pro A120-166 to the threshold of 4 GB complete as described in the manual.

  How to choose what memory to buy? Is the speed of the memory must match the FSB on the processor or what?

  The online manual lists at 533 MHz FSB, but if I go into the performance of the system on my laptop, it says that it's an Intel (r) [email protected], 800 MHz, 256 MB RAM. This means that my FSB is 800 MHz?

  The online manual says that my phone comes with 256 MB of ram DDR2 (533 MHz), so I'm a little lost as to what side MHz memory to buy now.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  You are right about maximum RAM. You can improve it up to 4 GB.
  Toshiba recommends for compatible use PA3513U-1M2G (DDR2-667 2 GB Memory Kit).

  You can also use the module of Kingston. Visit their page, and you will find a list of the compatible modules.
  Please don't be confused about MHz. You can use the module with 667 MHz.

• Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

  Help

  I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

  This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

  When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

  I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

  Thank you very much

  Mr. Gibbs

  It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

  It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
  It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

  If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
  But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

  Can someone help me with this.
  My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

  I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

  I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

  It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

  Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
  Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

  Hey dude,

  Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
  There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

  The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

  In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
  All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

• Satellite Pro A120 has network problems

  Mr President.

  I, Jayarajan.C.N, working as an Assistant Executive Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board, Kerala, India.
  We had a laptop brand Thoshiba (Satellite Pro A120 type; PTA83L-08L02N model number; SL.no. Y6131B1488H) as part of a package of type brand MD - 2000 Tesient relay.

  We use this laptop for other official purposes also. It works smoothly.

  But we were faced with the following problems:
  1. we could connect the computer laptop in Local Area Networking with other desktop computers and laptop. But we could not transmit or receive data from the other computer.

  2. we could connect us the laptop to the network in ad-hoc mode wireless and the laptop showed the link as 'excellent '. But as in the case of LAN, data may not be transferred or received.

  3. we tried to use dial-up modem to the laptop. But we do not have internet access. The error showed was 'busy line (error 676) '. In fact, the line was not busy.

  4. we checked to access internet using Reliance Netconnect USB modem after installing its software. He also failed in showing the "username & passwords are wrong in this area.

  5. I added an init string in the Toshiba modem commands: AT & FX1. But before that, I made a mistake. I installed the Client Services for Netware. After that, the connection mode was changed. But I don't know how to uninstall "client services for Netware". I selected the account control user - change the way users log on or off, I received the following message: "client for Netware has disabled the display of welcome and quick user agrees." To restore these features, you must uninstall client services for Netware. As I said before, I don't know how to uninstall the same. Now during log on, I have to use ctrl + alt + delete to log on.

  After you have added the string init AT & FX1, I have only seen the modem trying to catch the net until the "veryfying username and password. But he could not catch the net. Please note that I had installed the client services for Netware. I saw that the modem has been "connecting" even after a few minutes and I noticed the system reacted very slowly.

  In short, we cannot achieve any type of networking and by error logging has been changed...
  We ask your advice detailed without delay.
  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite Pro A120 does not turn on - blinking green

  Hi people anyone can help?

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, which is not used for a long time,
  When I plug in and turn on I get nothing except the lights on the front of the laptop, green power telling me light the d/c plug is plugged in,
  loading light but the power of the light on the front of the battery flashes green twice, then amber once and the fan runs but nothing else at all.

  Could someone tell me wots wrong and how to fix it please?

  Hello

  Indicator of DC IN ((deuxieme left) lights green when the power adapter DC voltage.
  If the adapters output voltage is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

  ((Troisième de gauche), the power led lights green when the computer is turned on. If you select the "sleep mode" indicator flashes (a second to two seconds) while the computer shuts down.

  If you notice other behaviors of indicator, then it means that something might be wrong on the motherboard. It is not possible to say what could be the problem here, but first, you should check out the bars of memory. Try to turn on the device using a single module.
  If this is not enough, then a malfunction of the motherboard would be possible.

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite Pro A120?

  I have a Satellite Pro with a system password, when I started, I asked Mr. password I was its power off for over a year now, because the number 9 key was stuck in position, so I couldn't even try to type a password.

  Two days ago, I've corrected the keyboard. Now the system will just to the point where it asks for a password but I don't know anymore, I tried more than 40 passwords I've used in my past.

  So I ve open. Removed the battery during the night. no use. I've read on this forum about the keydisk, parallel dongle. Don t have a parallel port, or floppy disk. I also read another post on this forum about a brand under the RAM that needs to be grounded and I found no such thing.

  can someone help me please? There must be a jumper on the motherboard as well.

  The system is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120

  Hi Rob

  I know that you are so happy to pay for it. Friend of mine has paid 60 Euros for the removal of the BIOS password.
  Anyway, please believe me you can not do anything alone. Sascha is right when he wrote about the different ways for the removal of the password and your model has the worst. I mean it can't be deleted so easy.

  Your laptop uses a sort, I'll call him, code stimulus / response. Service must send a code specific to the seat and wait for the response code. If the code matches the code deleted challenge the BIOS password cvan.

  Thus, there is no way to be removed from your own.
  Sorry mate :(

• Satellite Pro A120 boot disc

  I'm trying to install xp on my Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E), which is under Vista Business (somehow) 1 GB of RAM. I tried to set BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, I tried the setting to boot from the CD-ROM using screen splach (F4) options. The snoring of CD player and I can hear it trying to read the disc (and ongoing); However, the system hangs on the screen 'Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM..' black and does not reach the blue screen with white writing. If I let the points to continue across the screen I just get the boot options for Vista or memory diagnostic utility.

  The optical drive is correct: I can open the disc and run Setup (without the install option) within windows.
  The disc is not serious: I installed the XP Pro SP2 on other PCs without problem

  I thought it might be the problem with SATA driver, but after downloading the drivers and compiled a disc using nLite, I realized my mistake - if it will not boot from the CD what well to put the drivers on the CD?

  We have several A120 at work and I can't get an any of them to start from a win XP Pro SP2 disk!

  Now, I think there must be a setting that prevents the downgrade from Vista to XP: I don't have the know-how to install windows from DOS or I would try to format the drive and put the files on the hard drive and then installing that way.

  Any help would be appreciated... Vista Business can be good with 3 GB of RAM, but not with one. How did the Toshiba when they put this package together?

  Thanks in advance

  Orbitfish

  Hello

  I doubt that this question has something to do with the SATA drivers. You only need the SATA drivers on the blue screen with white letters where you can choose if you want to install XP (press enter) or you can choose the repair console (press R).
  But on this screen, you will need the SATA drivers. Otherwise, the HARD disk will not be recognized.

  However, in your case, I'll try another XP disc. I know the drive works in another computer but maybe your ODD does not work properly, and so it can t read any disk. Then please try another.

  In addition, you should try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it works.

  Have you tested another bootable disk?
  Check this please!

• Satellite Pro A120 passes through configuration whenever turned on

  Please help for the last month, everytime I turn on my laptop Satellite pro A120 with vista professional pre-installed it configures which lasts about an hour.

  After finally turns it repairs itself and then when on McAfee warns that it needs to be updated.

  I tried to install the updates, I tried to turn off the automatic updates, the only thing I have not tried it throws out the window of the bedroom.

  If you can help keep your simple language because I don't have much technical knowledge.

  Thank you in advance.

  Can you explain how he "fixes itself"?

  To exclude a software/Windows problem, you can reinstall Windows to its factory State by running "Recovery."
  But you need to back up your data (documents, music, email, etc.) before performing the recovery. It will wipe/remove C: drive.

  To run recovery, press and hold the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop.
